OFDA Political Action Committee
We can’t be at the Capitol and in the halls of Congress everyday, monitoring the ideas of the elected officials and regulators who implement and enforce these policies, but we have lobbyists that can and do.
There are innumerable benefits to having someone always in the mix in Salem and Washington, D.C. to provide a constant representation of our profession and our industry.
Without our lobbyists, we would be without a voice to register our concerns and oppositions to burdensome, costly and unnecessary policies and regulations that dictate how we run our business and how we must comply with such requirements. It is frightening really to imagine in today’s climate, what would happen to our businesses and our profession if we had no representation.
There is also a pro-active value when we can share a positive perspective, using our lobbyists as a vehicle for testifying before committees and meeting with legislators to help craft public policy that is in the best interest of consumers and funeral service providers alike.
This is where you can make a difference for our profession and the industry by contributing to the OFDA PAC and in the end, it won’t cost you anything.
That’s right! The state of Oregon will give you $50 to help protect and defend your business and our industry through the Oregon Political Tax Credit.
Here's how it works…
You write a check for up to $50 per person ($100 per couple) to the OFDA PAC, and then when you file your Oregon state income tax form you get all that money back. Your first $50 (per person) is a dollar for dollar tax credit. If you are getting a refund from the state, it’s fifty dollars more, and if you owe state income taxes – it’s $50 less! Call the OFDA Office at 503.639.1186 for more details.
